ASIA

First of all I would like to apologize to all of my followers for not writing a post in quite some time. I didn’t have much to write about. I am currently in Tokyo, Japan getting ready to work the NBA Basketball without Borders Camp. Just flew in this afternoon from Guangzhou, China where I finished up my 11th NIKE All Asia Camp. Before the boys camp I also worked the girls NIKE All Asia camp. I love coming over to China and now I am looking forward to seeing Japan. Tomorrow we will be taking a trip to where the tsunami hit Japan the hardest. I’m sure it will be a life changing trip. China has changed so much in the past decade and I am amazed every time that I go there by the progress and industrialization that occurs there. The basketball is getting better every year as well. The players are getting faster, stronger, quicker and they are also developing their fundamentals. The world has caught up quickly to the United States in more than just basketball. We need to get our act together on and off the court, if we want to remain a super power. We need to understand that basketball is a team game and if you play as a team you will always beat a bunch of selfish individuals. We need to practice the fundamentals more and play less games. Years ago kids went to camp to work on their games, now all they do is play games and they don’t ever work on their weaknesses. The toughest part of this trip is being away from my family. Will try to blog every other day and let you know what is happening in Tokyo. May God Bless you and your loved ones.
